Designed for athletes who, during long sessions, no longer want fruity flavours and prefer a neutral alternative. Gluten-free, suitable for vegans, certified by Informed Sport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a flavourless gel exists\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring a four, five or six-hour effort, taste becomes a factor. Strawberry, orange, lime: after ten gels in a day, it can become tiresome and prevent you from continuing to eat when you need to. Flavour fatigue is a well-known problem in ultra-endurance, long-distance triathlon and long bike rides. The neutral variant remedies this. You take it, you squeeze it, it's done. No flavour to react to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 40 grams and not 22 grams\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard SiS energy gel, GO Isotonic, provides 22 grams of carbohydrates per 60 ml. The Beta Fuel Gel provides 40 in the same 60 ml, from two sources in a 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose ratio. For an effort lasting more than two hours, 80 to 120 grams of carbohydrates per hour are needed to maintain glycogen stores. Two Beta Fuel Gels per hour are sufficient for this. With the GO Isotonic gel, almost four would be needed to achieve the same result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo transport pathways, increased efficiency\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaltodextrin is absorbed in the intestine via the SGLT1 transporter and goes directly to the muscles as rapidly available glucose. Fructose takes another pathway via GLUT5 and is processed by the liver. This liver, in turn, delivers glucose into the bloodstream, which contributes to a slightly more stable energy level over a longer period. With a 2:1 ratio, SGLT1 quickly saturates. The 1:0.8 ratio better distributes the load, increasing total oxidation efficiency from 62% to 74%, as demonstrated in a comparative study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIt contains sodium, unlike the Beta Fuel sachet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Beta Fuel 80 powder sachet does not contain sodium. The gel does: sodium citrate and sodium chloride are listed in the ingredients. This is a modest amount of 0.1 gram of salt per gel, but it has a function. Sodium promotes glucose absorption via SGLT1 and maintains taste balance. During prolonged effort where you sweat a lot, it does not replace all of your sodium losses. In that case, add a HYDRO tablet or a HYDRO+ sachet to your drinking water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neutral flavour has the same nutritional values as the other Beta Fuel Gels. You can combine it with other flavours in your jersey or bib pocket, and alternate depending on whether you fancy fruity or neutral. For those who already have experience with gels and know that the taste will make them tired, this is the logical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SIS","offers":[{"title":"30 pieces","offer_id":49373380116708,"sku":"5025324014088","price":47.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"15 items","offer_id":49373380149476,"sku":"8721055251507","price":33.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 rooms","offer_id":49373380182244,"sku":"5025324014071","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 piece","offer_id":49373380215012,"sku":"87646087464354","price":3.48,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/Beta_Fuel_Neutral.jpg?v=1783687179","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/sis-beta-fuel-gel-ratio-maltodextrine-fructose-1-0-8-neutre","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
